WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PR2001B-1/2 SEALANT. THIS MATERIAL IS 30 MINUTES APPLICATION LIFE TYPE SEALANT. THIS BONDING STEP IS ESTIMATED TO TAKE MORE THAN 1 HOUR WHEN DONE BY SKILLED MECHANICS FAMILIARIZED WITH THIS APPLICATION PROCEDURE.
   (1) Make the bonding surfaces on the replacement linings rough with garnet paper (Material No.V05-016) .
   (2) Remove all remaining unwanted material with a VACUUM CLEANER.
   (3) Use the sealant (Material No.V08-154A) . Weigh out 100 parts of base compound (white compound) and 18,5 parts of curing compound (black compound). If using SEMKIT form sealant, prepare either by hand, or using a mixing machine as described in the manufacturer's leaflet.
NOTE: This sealant is supplied in several forms. The preferred form is SEMKIT, alternative is the tin form.
NOTE: Wear lint free gloves (Material No.V02-097) or white nylon gloves (Material No.V02-100) when you touch the parts.
   (4) Mix the two parts together until the paste is a constant color. No streaks are permitted.
NOTE: The life of the mixed sealant is approximately 2 hours at 77 deg.F (25.00 deg.C) .
NOTE: Application life is dependent upon ambient environmental conditions. Increases in temperature and low humidity will shorten application time. Conversely, lower temperatures and high humidity will increase application life. For the examples, the life of the mixed sealant is approximately 2 hours at 77 deg.F (25.00 deg.C) and 50 percent RH.
   (5) Use a KNIFE - PUTTY or GUN - SEALANT to apply the sealant to mating surfaces of both components to a thickness of between 0.079 and 0.118 in. (2.0 and 3.0 mm). Where drain channel are to be fitted apply sealant at a thickness of 0.004 to 0.010 in. (0.10 mm to 0.25 mm). Be careful not to touch prepared surface.
NOTE: In order to ensure that acoustic lining honeycomb has contact with the surface of the sealant it is necessary to apply the sealant to the maximum specified thickness 0.118 in. (3.0 mm). The sealant layer thickness must not fall below the specified minimum 0.079 in. (2.0 mm).
NOTE: For the best results apply a thin layer of the sealant for filled honeycomb area but satisfactory results can be achieved with layers as much as 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) thick.
NOTE: If it is necessary, remove the sealant to around the linings. This step is dispense with "apply the V08-006filler, two pack to the gaps".
   (6) Put the replacement linings into position and hold them with silicone adhesive polyester tape (Material No.V02-224) .
NOTE: Move the new linings into position with the shim plates (locally made) between the linings, if necessary.
NOTE: Make sure there are no interference and/or too much gap (less than 0.078 in. (2.0 mm)) between the FEGV and rear edge of the linings.
   (7) Put the replacement linings into position and hold them with silicone adhesive polyester tape (Material No.V02-224) .
